POSITIONING THE BED RAIL

Step 1:

Set up the bed rail in locked position. Place the bed rail on the side of the bed that you would like to have protected. Place the fixed plate with strap on the opposite side of the bed rail and mount to the outer edge of the box spring. Make sure to adjust the slider to ensure a snug fit against the base of bed. Always readjust the slider whenever there is a change of bed rail position.
